CELEBRATING THE WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
*>*> On the 3rd Monday of the month (instead of the 2nd) to coincide with the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. <*<*
The Prayer of Peace is a monthly contemplative Christian prayer in the spirit of Taizé using scripture, song, and silence. Ecumenical, it is accessible for Christians of all denominations. Contemplative and musical, it includes many simple, short, repetitive songs that foster meditation.
A connection to the livestream and a pdf edition of the program will be available at the prayerofpeacegr.org web site. If Monday night doesn't work well for you, the video of the prayer will be available afterward for your convenience. Watch and pray at a time of your choosing. Video recordings of many of our prayers are available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVgAa21AzfZV_COhYRDROPkEOHh7EPqgy
SPREAD PEACE
We look forward to seeing you there! Help us spread the news by inviting members of your Sunday assembly, friends, and family. Share this event on social media.
God has blessed you.

+++ Look for St. Mary Church's parking lot at 420 Second St. NW, near downtown Grand Rapids with easy access to both the US-131 and I-196 expressways. The church is one block north of Bridge St., in the block of Broadway, Second, Turner and First Streets. Parking is available in the lot on Second Street and on the streets immediately surrounding the church in the block of Broadway, Second, Turner and First Streets NW. Note that the church has enlisted the help of AirGarage to help manage public parking in the lot. This does *NOT* apply to times when the church is hosting an event, so you will not need to pay for parking between 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm on the night we have the Prayer of Peace. Parking on the streets around the church remains free after 5:00 pm.
